Let dk(n) be the number of the factorizations of n into k positive numbers. It is known that the following asymptotic formula holds:

where r and q are co-prime integers with 0 < r < q, Pk is a polynomial of degree k − 1, φ(q) is the Euler function, and Δk(q; r) is the error term. (See Lavrik [3]).
